What's shocking is that people are not making a LIVING wage, which many economists have stated is an average of $23 an hour across the US. This is the minimum someone could get paid to ensure that their cost of housing does not exceed 35% of their income--a standard we can all get behind. No one should be working 40 hours a week and not able to make rent without 4 roommates.
And realistically that’s just barely paying rent, bills and some or most living expenses. Maybe. Cutting it pretty close. I don’t see why Colorado isn’t fixing this overpriced rent. When it was $1800 a few years ago that was pretty wild. Now it’s almost $3000. I’m just over paying shareholders for a tiny little apartment. At that point it’s housing prices but that too is nearly impossible. Since the 70s rent has never gone down. Increasing by nearly 50% in a couple years. Yeah maybe have 5-10 years it remains the same. We are going to have more homeless or people having serious health complications overworking to pay shareholders.
McDonald's shouldn't be paying people $23 an hour though. The problem is our dollar isn't actually worth anything anymore and no one wants to admit it. It's embarrassing and the disaster is looming on the edge of the cliff.
@I agree. I see your point, not sure if anything can be done about it though. Almost like a 2-ton boulder rolling down a hill right now. I voted for Trump because I WANT to believe what he was saying, but honestly I don’t see it changing too many things immediately or having the massive impact he was talking about while running. Still good to see things are kind of the up after the Election though. Maybe I should pay more attention to local politics rather than national level?
Thanks for sharing this helpful information! The Denver's minimum wage is rising to $18.81 in January, and that will be the highest out of the local, state, and federal minimum wages.
@ feel free to contact your city council representatives about eliminating parking minimums for new developments so we can build more housing so that you only have one roommate (you)

Mass immigration, homelessness, uninsured drivers, state is in deficit supporting so many freeloaders with free healthcare. But Colorado spends time and money on the important things like making sure farms with more than 3,000 chickens provide a foot of grass.
Burns me up every time. Now I just order and sit in my car while they bag it and put it in outside in the cold. I have tipped nice people for this, but even though I bring my own bags, they are now sticking everything in paper bags, pulling it thru rain or snow and then putting it in the car. So now I have wet paper bags I have to rebag before I go in through the snow. Why even make me bring my own bags if they don’t use them now? Hate to complain about paper bags too bc I will use them in my fire place. Can we just make it all make sense please?….i can deal with change if it makes sense. Nothing makes sense anymore and it’s so hard to adapt to chaos.
@@sarahdelgado0808 seems like you are not satisfied with anything. You don't want to go in because you have to bag groceries yourself.

I feel for young people. Trying to make such expensive rent and high costs of everything. I did trade school when i was young because i couldnt live on Minimum wage in the 80,s. I have seen over and over as the Minimum wage raises so does the costs of everything elses. Its like a mean shell came the big corporations and landloards play. So within a few years everyone is back to sqaure 1. So even if you work hard to get a better paying job above min. Wage it is now worthless as costs have gone up. So whats the real long lasting solution?
Am a big proponent of humane treatment of animals, but 1 sq ft of space isn't much, so guess I will still be buying from local folks who I know if I can. I always look for the Certified Humane stamp. Very happy with more progressive laws being passed in Colorado since I moved here in 2018. Unfortunately, this whole country needs some kind of rent control law, but that will never happen. Upping the minimum wage alone is only a short-term fix.
TLDR version: everything is going to get more expensive because the state has to finance the illegal immigrants, and they’re going to charge you if someone breaks into your vehicle and steals your legally owned firearm.
I don’t think he was justifying it but using it as an analogy on how laws come into effect…bad actions create legislation. Whether justified or not and I agree with your aversion to the Patriot Act. Simple as that.
Uhm, the court is the law interpretation branch of government, not the law making, or legislative branch. All laws must come from the law makers and be signed by the governor. Who is this guy? You know what else is specific? The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Is the hands free law a secondary offense? Or are the police allowed to pull you over for having your phone in your hand? If the latter, police will have another reason for pretextual stops.
I can't believe cell phones weren't banned here a decade+++ ago. I also can't believe there aren't 51% no-firearm if bar laws. Why would you ever not ban firearms in places with drunks? Even texas has both of these.
I hadn't gotten to the fact that the minimum wage is going up FORTY CENTS. You're seriously crying about someone getting a 40 CENT raise? $14.80???? 7 states are below $7.25 still, would you like it that low with homeless up 18% this year?
@@mj-np9syright?! Rent went up $500 this year. But you all made $50 extra dollars after taxes. So the good news is is you only get to work 7-8 hours more a week. What happens in a decade or so it’s like 80?! wtf then?!
All these new laws end up doing one thing: They result in rising prices for those who are suffering the most. A single mom struggling to put food on the table now can't afford eggs. That same single mom now has an extra barrier to her being able to protect herself on our ever increasingly dangerous streets... when will these people learn we are only about 10 years behind turning Colorado into Calirado; we're already halfway there. It hasn't worked out for California, and it won't work out to become Calirado. 🙄

Stealing a car in colorado is not a felony?

Realistically, I hardly see anyone get pulled over for anything near the Denver-Boulder area anyways

great. More higher prices!!
